The sizes and shapes will vary, but you will want to find packages that include the following:

• Brides bouquet
• Bridesmaid’s bouquets
• Corsages for Moms, grandmothers and other special women
• Boutonnieres for the groom, groomsmen and fathers of the bride and groom
• Floral arrangements for the church
• Centerpieces for the Reception

Like all other aspects of your wedding, you’ll want to comparison shop to get the best value for your money. Visit with different wedding florists and describe what you’d like for your wedding. He’ll probably have several books for you to look through to choose the flowers and centerpieces that compliment your wedding flower and reception. Keep in mind that flowers are seasonal. To save money, go with blooms that are in season. If they’re out of season, make sure they won’t cost much money to bring in from other parts of the country. Exotic flowers are sure to be more expensive.

Hopefully your church and reception location aren’t far apart from each other. This will come in handy when choosing a florist. Your best bet is to go with one that is local to the wedding and reception areas to cut down on costly delivery fees. The quicker your flowers reach their destination the fresher they will be.
